Mass delete messages stored on watch

I like to keep a clean imessage inbox on my phone. Messages are deleted weekly as opposed to having numerous message threads saved. Unfortunately messages remain within the watch imessage app. I do not have the time to delete each message one by one from my watch by swiping left and then confirming that I do want to "trash" each message. How can we delete all messages from watch or at least have it in sych with the iphone message app?

It is not possible to bulk delete Messages conversations on Apple Watch.

To delete a Messages conversation on your Apple Watch:

Open the Messages app on your Apple Watch:
- When viewing the time, go to the Home screen (by pressing once on the Digital Crown) > tap on the Messages app icon.
- Or use Siri (eg "hey Siri, open Messages").
When viewing the conversation list, swipe left on the conversation that you wish to delete > tap Delete / Trash.
